Gri-Gri
OK, it sounds to me like this belayer was using a Gri-Gri and used it incorrectly.
Which is possible to do, as a beginner.
But you never, never, never drop your climber. Never. And now that he has, he's probably guilty, and trying to deny his guilt in all sorts of ways. And adults just don't do that. Adults say, I'm sorry I messed up and something bad happened, what can I do to make it as right as I can?
I agree with Cary. Aside from his climbing skills this guy has a serious character flaw. I'd say avoid him at all costs.
